Refinery Gas Analyzers

Refinery gases arise from refining operations on liquid hydrocarbon feed stocks. Composition of these gases varies widely depending on what process generates them. Typically refinery gases consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and C1-C5 saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons. Some C6's and H2S may also be present. Refinery gas analyzers are an integral part of any refinery lab and provide valuable information that allow refiners to monitor and optimize catalytic and other processes, establish market value of a gas when sold to the chemical industry and enable the study of gaseous products from process under study or development. Agilent provides a family of factory tested - ready to use GC analyzers for refinery gases that provide the accurate and reliable results required.

  • Complete range of analyzers for refinery and other petroleum gases containing H2, O2, N2, CO, H2S, CO2 and C1-C5 plus higher chain length hydrocarbons
  • Easy “out-of-the-box” operation including pre-set method parameters, data files, and checkout samples for performance verification
  • Time-saving, customized reports including calculations for mole %, weight %, or volume %, and calorific value
  • Laboratory applications based on Agilent's 7890 GC, the market leading gas chromatograph, and out of laboratory applications build around Agilent's 490 MicroGC system
  • An optional micro-gasifier expands the analytical capabilities to liquefied gases
  • A factory certified technician will perform installation and familiarization confirming that your analyzer meets Agilent’s analytical performance criteria and “ready to go” for calibration and validation by your team
  • The highly efficient and rigorous packing technology used in Agilent J&W packed GC columns assures column-to-column reproducibility and ultimate efficiency.
